I bought Perl’s on a wire back in 1999. It was an illusion necklace. When I tried to remove the pearls and use them for another necklace I found I could not get them off. Were they glued? How did the person do that.? The wire was .018. ,
They are beautiful. I love the hues. I like the length as it shows the peals many colors and the white shirt off sets the pearsl shape. The luster is to die for
Using seed pearls
Using seed pearls
Sometimes when I am working with seed pearls, I will use an instrument to slightly enlarge the hole. Sometimes it works and other times I lose a pearl. I use a size 10 needle with wildfire thread that is for 6-10 lbs. The pearls are less than 3mm.
If, if they were mine.....big if , I wouldn't use spacers. I think the pearls are gorgeous by themselves. They don't require dress-up .... The pearls can stand alone.
Lovely. Exquisite. The pearls appear like a white mink hugging her arms. The graduated pearls, the way they hang is so CoCo Chanel. The earrings are nice but they don't match the cream pearls . Who is the designer?
I love the necklace. The pearls are beautiful. I have had the string snap at the finish.... bummer. When you restring your grandmother's, I would love to see them.
I have actually not once put them on. I look at them as they are beautiful. In some ways I fear if they were to fall off my husband would hate me! I have shown them twice to groups and then back to safe. I don't think my husband understood why his wife asked for Natural black south sea pearls...
